10* FREE MLB PICK (Dodgers -1.5, +121)
I'll take my chances here with LA winning by at least 2 runs. Dodgers took yesterday's matchup by a final of 6-1 and have now won 3 straight. I just feel that if it wasn't for the early struggles of Los Angeles starter, Walker Buehler, this line would be a lot different. No denying Buehler has been bad in his first 3 starts, but so has the Reds offense. Cincinnati has only scored more than 5 runs once all season and have scored 3 or fewer 9 times. Just to put it in comparison, LA has scored more than runs 10 times.
Also, Cincinnati's Sonny Gray has strong numbers thru his first 3 starts, but some of that is he's face a sub-par Pirates offense twice and a horrible Marlins offense in the other. Not only do I think Buehler snaps out of his slump, but I look for LA to put up a number here. Give me the Dodgers -1.5 (+121)

Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: Pittsburgh Pirates -104
I’m back on the Pirates Wednesday after cashing them in as my free play Tuesday. These are two teams going in opposite directions as the Pirates are 8-3 in their last 11 games overall, while the Tigers have lost four straight coming in.
Pittsburgh has a huge edge on the mound today behind Trevor Williams, who is picking up where he left off last season with a dominant second half. Williams has gone 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA and 0.982 WHIP in three starts this season. He is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.615 WHIP in two career starts against Detroit.
Spencer Turnbull has been roughed up this season for the Tigers. He is 0-2 with a 4.80 ERA and 1.533 WHIP in three starts this season despite facing three light-hitting lineups in the Blue Jays, Royals and Indians.
Pittsburgh is 20-4 in its last 24 vs. AL teams that score 3.9 or fewer runs per game. The Tigers are hitting .203 and scoring just 2.7 runs per game this season. It’s a minor miracle they are .500 on the season with those numbers. Bet the Pirates Wednesday.

Play on: Pirates -107 at BMaker
My 1* Free Play is on the Pittsburgh Pirates (6:40 EST).
The Tigers have lost four straight and I think they’re ripe for the picking today as well.
Detroit has scored four or fewer runs in 14 of its 16 games thus far.
That doesn’t bode well for Tigers’ starter Spencer Turnbull (0-2, 4.80 ERA) who makes his eighth major league appearance and seventh career start and who is still looking for his first major league victory.
That leaves the door open for the Pirates and Trevor Williams (1-0, 2.45) who has gone at least six innings in each of his first three starts, most recently holding the Nats to two runs over seven innings of work.
Also note that in two career starts Williams has pretty much “owned” Detroit by giving up no runs and one hit over 13 innings.
I think the writing is on the wall and a major blowout is in the cards. Consider the visiting side in this one.
Good luck…Larry

Play on: OVER 203 -110
1* Free NBA Pick on Pacers/Celtics OVER 203
After watching Boston and Indiana combine for a mere 158 points in the Celtics 84-74 win, I think a lot of people are going to be inclined to take the UNDER in Game 2 with a total that's 40+ more points than what they just had.
Defense is definitely going to be a staple in this series, but I think we see some regressing back to the mean in Game 2 and a much higher scoring game that finishes past the mark. Keep in mind that each of the last 3 meetings between these two saw at least 214 combined points.
OVER is 14-3 in the Pacers last 17 after scoring less than 75 points and 5-1 in their last 6 off a SU loss. OVER is 19-8 in last 27 home games off a home win by 10 or more and 14-4 in their last 18 games played in April. Take the OVER!

MIKE LUNDIN'S BLUE JAYS @ TWINS FREE PICK
The Toronto Blue Jays picked up a 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. I expect another slugfest here Wednesday night with Blue Jays' rookie right-hander Trent Thornton going toe-to-toe with Twins righty Jake Odorizzi.
Thornton (0-1, 4.61 ERA) tossed five scoreless innings in his MLB debut on March 31, but his past two starts have not been quite as good. His last was the worst, when he allowed five runs on eight hits (three homers) in just three innings of an 11-7 loss to Tampa Bay.
Odorizzi (0-2, 6.35 ERA) gave up three runs in 4 2/3 innings of a 9-6 road loss at NY Mets last time out. He has struggled with his command all season and issued nine walks through 11 1/3 innings of work.
Over is 5-2 in Blue Jays last 7 overall. Over is 4-0 in Blue Jays last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter.
Free pick on OVER.
